Jess Glynne is nominated for three awards - and is just a tad excited about it. 

She told the BBC she had been "jumping around all day" and was "feeling great". 

The Hold My Hand singer said: 

Jess said she was looking forward to seeing her friends Little Mix perform tonight.

She's nominated in the British female solo artist, British breakthrough act and British single categories.

Looking back into the history of the Brits, here are a few facts about the UK music industry's biggest night of the year.

Most awards in one night: Blur - who won Best British Group, Best British Single, Best British Video and Best British Album for Parklife in 1995.

Most awards in total: Robbie Williams - whose shelves support a staggering 17 awards - 12 of them as a solo artist and five as part of Take That.

First performers: Procul Harum, who opened the 1977 show with A Whiter Shade of Pale.

Most snubs: Radiohead have been nominated 16 times, but have come home empty handed every time.

Success begets success: According to the Official Charts Company, the last five Best British Album winners have averaged 1,799,276 sales up until the day they won the Brit. The only nominee to pass that milestone this year? Adele.

Years & Years have four nominations at the Brits, including best British group, and singer Olly Alexander is getting in the mood for some serious social interaction...

We like nothing more than male popstars who take their red carpet appearance as seriously as their female counterparts.

Take Rudimental, for example, who are up for best single alongside Ellie Goulding.

There's been a lot, external of speculation, external Rihanna would pull out of her performance at the Brits, after she caught bronchitis and cancelled on the Grammys last week.

But shortly after midnight, the Bajan star popped up on Twitter to confirm the show would go on. 

What a trooper.
